The Los Angeles Rams and Houston Texans are getting ready for their final preseason exhibition this afternoon, and while starters are expected to ride the bench to minimize the chance of injuries, star wide receiver Cooper Kupp decided to steal the show during warmups.
Usually known for his ability to make incredible catches, Kupp decided to show off his throwing skills ahead of kickoff, launching a flat-footed 50-yard throw that may give Sean McVay some ideas for trick plays.
Take a look at Kupp’s impressive throw below, in this video that was posted to the NFL’s official Twitter account before the game:

Though Los Angeles is secure in its quarterback situation, the veteran receiver’s amazing throwing ability might be an asset to be utilized this season.
Kupp isn’t likely to see the field against Houston but is expected to return to action on September 8 when the Rams face the Detroit Lions in Week 1.
